C0RI1IIUSKER TRADITIONS REVIVED
A Few Notes in Ragtime
AT FRESHMAN INITIATION THURSDAY
The new-eomehs to Nebraska will
become full-fledged Cornhuskers at
the freshman initiation Thursday
morning. When the pong sounds at
convations hour every first-year man
is existed to crowd his way into
Memorial Hall to hear soma of the
old-time traditions and receive a
healthy does of real Cornhusker
spirit. With such pep-injectors ad
Professors Scott and Condra on the
program he must indeed be a ihick
hided yearling to come away unin
oculated. Head Coach Schulte. Ne
braska's new athletic director, will
have some Ideas that will be of in
terest to every Freshman.
The idea of a freshman initiation
was started for the purpose of intro
ducing the first year men into uni
versity life. He is to become ac
quainted with university yells and to
learn to know the university colors.
He is to learn to have the right atti
tude towards the faculty; to know
the purpose of the school he has
chosen for his Alma Mater. Univer
sity athletics, debating, scholarship,
and every other line of activity will
be revealed, and explained to him.
In general, the idea is to start tne
freshman in his university career on
the right track; to urge him to know
what he is here for. and to inject
into him the resolve to make good.
The meeting will give each aspir
ant to the job of cheer leader a
chance to show his ability. If pos
sible those desiring to make use of
this opportunity should report io
Glenn Hopkinc at the students activ
ties o!Rce before the convocation
hour.
Convocation for Women. .

tion Thursday morning at eleven
o'clock in the Temple theater. Talks
by representative girls of the wo
men's organizations and by faculty
women, interspersed with Nebraska
songs and yells, will acquaint the
girls with the traditions of Nebraska
and with some of those who are striv
ing to uphold the traditions.
The talks will be short and snappy
and the meeting will be characterized
by lots of pep. If the audience does
not have it before they come, ihey
will acquire it before they leave.

KEEN COMPETITION
IN PILLOW FIGHT
Co-eds Battle Hard for Prizes
Offered by Old Man
Awgwan.
After five full days of persistent sol
iciting on the part of AWGWAN sub
scription contestants the real struggle
for the coveted prize offered by the
management for the most successful
solicitor developed late Tuesday after
noon when a flock of co-eds stoi ...a
the campus in their efforts to close
out the largest number of subscrip
tion books before the close of the on
test which has been announced for
this evening at 6 o'cclock.
Dorothy Wolfe has maintained her
position at the head of th" list of con
testants and bids fair to walk away
with the "Nebraska" leather pillow
top this evening. Following her iose
ly are Ruby Swenson. Yerna lluchta
and Mary Herzing. all of which are
still in a position to make the lead
doubtful. Many surprises however,
are promised for today since many of
the solicitors have been taking prom
ises which they expect to materialize
into actual subscriptions today and so
overturn the general outlook for win
ners. Besides the regular solicitors Sta
tion A. and The Student Activities
Office are taking subscriptions Horn
those whom the solicitors have not
reached. In addition there will be a
table or A WG WAN'S placed near Ihe
Armory during today only, for "hose
who have subscribed and any wishing
to place their subscription. Th os
culation bids to be unusually heavy
this year due to the increased enroll
ment and the pervading spirit of
"Cornhuskerism" in the campua at
mosphere. The circulation is stimu
lated, too. by the character of the edi
torial work in this year's edition and
the exceptional quality of advertising
material which helps to give the com
ic added recognition in publicanon
and commercial circles.
This year Old Man Awgwan will be
found the ever-ready supporter and
defender of those things which are
Cornhusker in their character and
which look toward the ripening of
Nebraska traditions.
Students Back Awgwan
Fraternities and sororities have al
ways been staunch in their support
of their favorite periodical and AW
GWAN enjoys likewise a very wide
circulation among non-fraternity tta-
dents. The many favorable cireum-1
stances coupled with the hearty sup
(Continued on Page Three.)
So a perfectly fascinrting, young man, asked you to sell
subscriptions for the "Raz." And yoa beinj beguiled by
his combination Wallace Reid-Apollo smile consented to do
so. Blithely you fared forth with a receipt book and a hand
ful of tags.
Being a violet-like little maiden, yen decided it would
be far more modest to spirit the dollars away from the co-eds,
instead of trying to siren away the shekels from the men.
However, it is a woman's privilege to change her mind, and
at the end of a weary, dreary, hour, you availed yourself of
this prerogative, and assailed the finances of the men. Why?
Because the fair ladies met your charming pleas with icy
stares, and icier words. Two, out of hundreds to whom you
spoke, subscribed.
You had somewhat better luck with the men. Some of
them lacked the moral courage to refuse you. Some sub
scribed because you so successfully blockaded tha walk, that
they could not pass by you, altho one or two, heroically
shoved you out of the way in a manner which would have
made a csve man burst with pride. Others subscribed be
cause you trailed them around and around the campus with
the persistency of a shadow. Others told you they did not
have the money, while they jingled it noisily in their pockets.
Others, gave scores of excuses. Others, grinned sheepishly,
but said nothing. Still others, dashed by you. as if your
vcicc were merely a passing bree?e. ard you were naught
but atmosphere, end did not subscribe at all.'
With a Wyuka look, and a feeling that Joan of Arc had
no monopoly on the martyr stuff, yoa turned in your book
at noon, with a solemn vow of "Never gain" but tonight,
a man called you up. and asked you to reseat the agony in
the morning. Yes. ar?d you said yen wo?H Pleasant out
look, isn't it? Surely, people must reali?5 that in thes2 days
of prcteering and sky prices, one c.i get ro more tV?.n
"Rags," for a dollar arri a carter, any v.crren who has
rriced fall suits, knows tht, so why tot get the best "Rag"
in the world for one's dollar and a quirtsr.

at Freshman Expense.
Lawrence Shaw Lost to Varsity
Squad Headed for Chi
cago University.
The pleasure of roughing up the
scrubs" was piven to the varsity for
the first time Tuesday. With Howarth
at (nut '.r. Dale at fullback. Dobson
and Si iiel.enberg at halves, and the
linemen tearing holes through the de
fensV. the old reliables eat 'em alive,
gobbled 'em up. The scrimmage
hungry Husker squad will have an
other morsel thrown it this after
noon. Both Lyman and Schellenberg were
on the field Tuesday. Hubka is be
ing delayed in his trip to the I'nl' but
is almost certain to have his fighting
togs on before October 1. It is not yet
certain how soon Kellogg will leave
his home in Nebraska City for the
Lincoln campus, but those in touch
with Sam believe that he has the bug
and will soon be tearing around the
ends out on the brid.
"Rill" Day had a little hard luck
yesterday. He hadn't been on the
field five ir.inu'es when one of the
pigskins bounced up onto his little
finger. That little member was badly
crumpled and taken back to Jack
Best's dressing station for repairs. For
the rest of the practice session Day
followed the sguad as an interested
ensign, I. S. N".
The first varsity squad of the year
which had the chance to plow into
the "scrub" was lined up in the fol
lowing order:

L. T. Young.

R. G. Jungmeyer.

Old Fans On Bleachers.
It was a pleasure to old bugs to
see a Scarlet and Cream varsity line
up in action again. There were many
es-itoldiers and sailors riding the
bleachers who hand t seen a Husker

with the freshmen was a soothing
sight for these eyes.
